A definition of anarcho-georgism

Anarcho-georgism is a political proposition which advocates the elimination of the state as well as a recognition that no one has the right to monopolise land. It is a combination of the more traditional form of stateless capitalism known as anarcho-capitalism with the philosophy of Henry George. Even in a stateless society it is reasonable to expect to be able to have access to (otherwise plentiful) natural resources. We have no right to exclude people from land if we have enough ourselves and we are depriving others. Anarcho-georgism is the recognition that even in a stateless society the Lockean proviso still applies.
